This is an amazing pot luck dip to bring to a crowd!
My friend i got this from used sliced corned beef from the deli, i bought a cheap small brisket, threw it in the crock pot with carrots and celery and cooked the be-jesus out of it. I cooled it overnight and then made the dip from it! I forgot to take a picture, it was just so good!

I wonder…what do you call a sandwich that is spread with reuben spread? Is it still a reuben? Hmm.
Philosophical quandary.
Looks good though!
